accuracy of walmart rem 700.

Ok wife draged me to walmart today. Stoped by gun counter. They had a 700 camo thin plastic stock. 26 inch medium type barrel 7mm rem mag. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with this type on gun and getting the berger bullets to shoot accurately in an over the counter gun , could mabey load up .and if not to accurate mabey send to someone to blueprint and put new barrel on . That do yo u guys think is it worth a shot or a bad idea?

I paid about 300 for an old beater 7rm in an ADL 700 last year with the plan to rebarrel it. I loaded some rounds up, after cleaning the barrel, and it shot just under 1 moa. I shot it all summer because it wasn't bad on accuracy. A new 700 is the same no matter where you buy it. If it is OK, a trigger job or floating the stock may make a world of difference.

I know my shooting buddy (InvisibleSoul85) has a factory SPS .300 WinMag 26" barrel that shoots ¼-½ MOA groups with my handloads. We've loaded everyting from Nosler 155 Custom Comps to Berger 230 Hybrid OTM's, and we've found a good load with just about everything we've tried. The only things we've done to the gun were pillar bed the stock (homemade setup, cost like $10), adjust the trigger, and free-float float the barrel, and torque the action screws to proper tension after pillar bedding it.

Not bad shooting for a sporter barreled almost completely factory SPS.

Just a comment, depends on which 700...Walmart does sell the higher and remington 700s as well...ive seen them for like 600-800 bucks...cant remember actual cost, but then again they also sell the remington 783/770 which are the bottom end budget model.
